MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.  December 12, 2007  BitDefender®, a global provider of award-winning antivirus software and data security solutions, announced today that BitDefender Antivirus 2008 was awarded VB100% certification from Virus Bulletin for its ability to detect 100% of the viruses on the WildList. Tested by Virus Bulletin on Windows 2000, BitDefenders powerful security solution was proven to be one of the most secure anti-virus solutions available.

The VB100% certification is recognized as one of the industrys definitive guides for the performance of an antivirus product. The WildList Organization (http://www.wildlist.org) collects monthly virus reports from anti-virus experts around the world. The data from the reports is compiled to produce The WildList  a list of those viruses currently spreading throughout a diverse user population. A virus that is reported by two or more of the WildList reporters will appear in the top-half of the list and is deemed to be 'In the Wild'.

Virus Bulletin magazine tests the leading antivirus solutions against the viruses which appear in the In the Wild list. Only those antivirus solutions that achieve full protection from these latest viruses are considered for the VB100% certification.

We are very pleased at receiving yet another VB100% certification for BitDefenders security software, commented BitDefender CTO Bogdan Dumitru. In addition to validating the power of BitDefenders solutions to our customers, this Virus Bulletin certification is especially noteworthy as fewer than half of the 32 tested solutions received a certification.
